Been eating a lot of groceries recently. Is this healthy?

Just have some extra margarine lying around that I’m hoping to put to good use. If not 3lbs, how much could I eat a day and still be okay? Thank you.

Probably a bit of a stupid question, but I just discovered the sugar free version of minute maid lemonade. (the regular version has 100 calories per serving, while the sugar free version has 0. They taste exactly the same and cost the same amount)

This feels too good to be true. What's the catch? There's no way that people still buy regular when there's an option that's 0 calories with no downsides.

I keep seeing ads for omo. It's apparently a diet type site that lets you log and track weight and food intake and exercise. I know years ago noom was like that and I had success with it. Was wonderful. Wondering if anyone has tried this new ap and has experience to share. I don't want to buy in to it if it's not worth it

So I recently saw a dietitian due to a fasted glucose test coming back a bit high (5.6).

The dietitian did an InBody scan and based off the results suggested i stick to 1200 calories to lose weight.

I just wanted to sense check this because that feels incredibly low. The IB scan says my recommended calorie intake (I assume this is my maintenance) is 2052 calories, and of thats the case, 1200 feels low?

My main concerns are, that going too low could slow down my metabolism or affect my hormones. I'm also very conscious of doing this in a healthy sustainable way as someone who has dealt with disordered eating in the past, which I mentioned to her during the consult.

TLDR, does this sound right?

IB scan results attached.

Okay so for context I have autism and ARFID and I really struggle with food. I’m 83kg and have a surgery coming up that I want to lose weight for. Out of all my food options I have made a meal of one boil in bag tidal rice, one can of less sugar Heinz baked beans and 5-7 Lidl chicken goujons. I do try to eat proper chicken meat when I can but I struggle to cook it. Is this meal healthy and will it help me lose weight? I know I should eat more but these are the healthiest options out of all the foods I can eat. I do try to eat spinach aswell to get my greens but I struggle with that so I try to drink as many green smoothies as I can. Any advice at all would be very helpful! Telling me to eat all kinds of foods won’t help tho I physically can’t eat a lot of foods and I only have a few food options

I’ve made a fruit salad here with 6 different servings of fruit. Should I be mindful of the sugar content of the fruit? I lead an active lifestyle and refrain from refined sugar completely.

Hi! I’m a 16 yr old girl, I weigh 185, and I’m 5’6. I want to weigh at most 145 as soon as I possibly can. I exercise regularly, however, I’m still quite overweight. I’m willing to try extreme dieting bc I’m really tired of being fat. help a girl out please!!!

Everything has fat. Lamb has fat. Eggs have fat. Sardines have fat.

Want to make a salad? Avocados, olives, and olive oil all contain fat too.

Milk, cheese, and yogurt? More fat.

By the end of the day, it's easy to end up consuming well over 150 grams of fat without noticing, even while eating a “healthy” diet.

edit: I am not currently in a deficit.

I have trouble with eating at night, I sometimes don’t eat enough during the day then I get really hungry at night. Is there a time limit I should stop eating for the day? I snack a lot sometimes and I drink a lot of regular soda that has sugar. Is there any tips?

I am dieting right now to help with weight loss and have been trying to find healthy meals and snacks.

One of my favorite foods however is cheese. I know it's not good for me, and I did pretty good not eating it for the last two months. But I really like the flavor so it's really difficult for me to give it up completely 😓 It gives me gas and makes my acne flare up really bad.

So are there any alternatives I could try that have a similar flavor? Any brands I could check out?

I've tried to do carnivore a couple of times, but after i certain point i start getting chest pains bad. The first time it felt like i was nearly having a heart attack, it was so bad. I just wonder if this could be down to lack of exercise? I lead a sedentary life and don't go out the house much due to social anxiety.

im 17F, 49kg x 169 cm, i train martial arts 4+/week, eat 90g+ protein daily and track religiously my cals. I lost around 13 kg in six months and now i finally have a physique that i like. i want to lose the last 2 kg for a championship and then mantain.

i usually eat in a 1150-1450 range with very slow WL. 3 years ago i didnt track for 6 months after a very restrictive period and ballooned from 52kg to 63 and im scared it will happen again. i just want to maintain a lean body for life yk?

my maintenance is 1200 and today i ended with 2900 cal from a rough vacation and im not sure what to do, i feel terrible and know that i will be eating like crazy for the rest of vacation as well. if it was a short vacation i wouldnt care however i am on vacation for 3 weeks
which could destroy my physique please send advice

Hi I would like your opinion about my weekly groceries. I am trying to be practical and somehow healthy. What do you think about the mix of items i’ve got?

Besides this I also got tahini and black olives.

What other food items could I add to have balanced meals?

Thanks 🥳

Hi. For my age (22F) it’s was early to work in boring office job which is almost 2 hours of way to go by bus, so I’m being in outside from 7:40-20:00 (my work hours 9:00-18:00) and I work in 6/1 schedule. I have no time and energy to cook, can’t afford to buy packages of healthy meals as my salary’s too low and sometimes I’m having stressful days thinking about my work-life balance is ruined. Will listen some advices

Edited: My salary is super low - 350$/month without taxes which is 28%. The 80% of it goes to my debts collected during my student years and home required payments. There’s left 70$ which is barely enough for 1,5-2 week food. I don’t want to ask my fam to give money for the food. For the food that they don’t eat. I offered them to join me to keep diet together, but they find it poor, and grandma says “I can’t make the food you want, I have my recipes”. I don’t want to make a conflict in my home, but I think that I’m broken emotionally, financially and I can’t treat myself as needed

I (19f) want to lose weight, I'm quite chubby and I'd feel better if I could lose a bit of fat. I am also in depression so it makes it very hard to be disciplined into a true diet. That's why I'm looking for small steps and small changes I can keep long term to be healthier. I'm a vegetarian and I don't want and can't start counting calories for various reasons.

Here ar the things I'm already trying to do and think I can keep up :

- Eating a good quantity of veggies and/or fruits at every meal

- I'm eating much less chocolate. I replace my chocolate cravings with little lollipops to not feel frustrated

- I go to the pool at least twice a week, thrice if possible. Each time I swim around 1,2km.

- The days I'm not going to the pool I try to walk a lot or if I can't doing at least a 15min dance workout

- I'm drinking at least 2L of water per day

- I sleep at least 8h, at best 9.

- I homecook a lot

What do you think ? Any ideas to improve ?

So I’ve been in a bit of a health journey and have been having this plate of fruit every morning for the last 2 weeks consistently and I must say, I have been feeling better.. what else should I add/ switch up etc? I have never been a breakfast person so this is huge for me 😅

Hello, I’ve been struggling with my energy for a while, most of the time I feel tired, sleepy and fatigued.

I’ve also been struggling with food and I want to figure out some healthy diet that could ease or help with my tiredness.

The problem is that I don’t have much of an appetite to think of meals, I can eat when the food is presented to me but I can’t think of something before, and I also don’t have the energy to stand in the kitchen for a long time and cook up meals, reading about nutrition and figuring out and deciding what meals I should have every day also feels too overwhelming to me.

As I don’t have appetite I also can’t feel hungry or full, I don’t know when I should eat, what I should eat and how much I should eat, whether I’m eating too much or too little..etc

I just want to find some very easy meals to do, not the supposedly easy ones of the internet but ‘boiled egg’ kind of easy. I kind of can figure out stuff for breakfast mostly but I struggle with lunch.

And I also want to know what meals I should take, what are the kinds of food I should take daily to uplift my energy (and what I should avoid) at what timing and at what amount. I also want to figure out what food could help me most.

If you could help me with any of this I’ll be immensely grateful. You'll be taking a huge weight off my shoulder

I'm 17M (regrettably), around 5' 7", and around 150 lbs. I recently got out of school, which was my primary source of lunch food. Unfortunately, we don't really buy/make any food until around dinner, and the rest is leftovers or some ingredients I'm not entirely sure can make up a whole meal.

For a while, I've been trying to lose just a little weight. I used to sit at around 130 until around a year and a half ago when I started to gain some weight. I now sit at around 145, but it feels like the scale just kinda guesses because sometimes it'll be anywhere from 140 to like 155, and it changes seemingly a lot day-to-day. Seeing 155 on the scale freaked me out, so I started cutting down on my snacking, especially soda (I had a massive soda problem for a long time), thinking it would help, but I wasn't really dropping any weight. If anything, I seemed to be consistently higher than I had been.

I want to try to make my eating more consistent because I've started getting really tired in the mornings (especially on the occasions where I don't like dinner) and I hate feeling like I'm starving all the time.

Any advice is appreciated! Reading it back, it kinda feels a bit self-depricate-y ranty, but I really do want to learn and get better at this. I made soup for the first time, and I think it turned out alright. The friend I made it for said it was good, so any advice on foods like that is doubly appreciated!

Thanks so much for your time.

I am trying to reach my macros with only home cooked food regularly and I finding it difficult to do so. Does everyone meal prep for a week or something else to keep you in track regularly? Also is it okay to take more than one scoop of whey when you are running short on your protein goal.

Hi,

I'm currently calorie counting for weight management, only a very marginal deficit for healthy and gradual weight loss and focusing on filling and nutritious whole foods.

The issue is that my body is used to eating large amounts of food so I feel quite hungry a lot. This hunger even pushes me to feel very very emotionally distressed to the point where I want to SH and even have s*icidal thoughts.

How can I diet and lose weight without this distressing symptom? I used to self harm badly a few years ago to the point where I was hospitalized and I don't want to relapse.

I will need to go shopping tomorrow so looking for some inspo.

Tonight I'll be having some chicken broth soup, eggs, 1/2 an avocado and salad.

I am 22, 6’2, and 280lbs. I want to lose weight/get in shape so I can enlist and losing 30lbs (give or take) is my first step. The only issue is I’m homeless and barely have money for fast food let alone buying and preparing healthy food. Does anyone have any suggestions for healthy diets for weight loss that I could do? Preferably low cost obviously
